#{aodh

Aodh is a seldom worshiped being in the Zone. Because demise and Ending is so rare among sapient and complex ghosts prone to acts of worship, his cult is small.

His servants(psychopomps), acolytes, and temple attendants number in the few thousand among all the beings of the Zone, and his shrines are tiny.

Still, Death is given its due respect, and prayers to Aodh are well remembered when times call for rare funerals among the undead of the Zone. Neverborns are especially prone to worshiping this deity, as they feel more 'alive' in their own estimation than ghosts experiencing an 'afterlife'.

Outside of worship at funerals, warriors respect the God, asking for protection from his domain during battle, and are the most likely to recall or swear on his name, seeing the reality of Ending most often among Zone denizens. They also have their own dirges and songs honoring their fallen and calling to his psychopomps to spirit the essence of their brethren on to the Beyond.

Secondary among his worshipers are hunters, who thank both Cernunnos and Aodh for their kills, and the occasional newly formed ghost of the formerly living. They pray to him when thinking of departed family who they don't find in the Zone, and the most bitter, to kill their living enemies.

The final group represents evildoers, like murderers, but though the Death Cult sees all Death neutrally, there are few killers of sapient, complex life in the Zone who so dedicate themselves to the task.
